Synopsis

The period stretching from the Reformation to the twenty-first century proved a time of radical change for Europe-and with the continent's far-reaching influence, for the entire world as well. This course provides a greater understanding of the role played by such influential figures as Luther, Calvin, Napoleon, and Stalin, among others. Further, the importance of this epoch in European history is expounded upon in an analysis that will shed new light on the present and the future of global politics.
